WHY DGT?

The Democrats of Greater Tucson will celebrate its 39th year in November of 2018, making it older than the organization’s current President. Before 1979 DGT was known as the Young Democrats of Greater Tucson, but as some of our members began to grey we thought a name change appropriate. We achieved this longevity through the dedication of many volunteers as the maxim that all Democrats get to speak.

As long as one adhered to the moniker of “Member of the Democratic Party”, one could get on the speaker’s list. As a result, DGT attendees have heard from Democrats across the wide spectrum of the party, leaving all who participate richer as the result.
